This information has enriched my knowledge of videogames just enough that I have levelled up.

I don't know how could Larian feel after seeing that most people don't deem Co-op important, yet they are focusing on it for years now.
Well, it was predictable that most rpg fans care more about story, combat, character progression, etc. than any multiplayer stuff. I think they probably already knew co-op and DM mode is something that is of interest to just a niche of their core fanbase, after all they have data coming from D:OS and D:OS2's early access.

I like that ragdoll physics for deaths is being added but they have to improve it a bit. The corpses have to have some momentum from the spell effects and so on. Looks silly that the character just spaz out and die in a pile on the spot.

It's completely normal that coop is less important to people than other elements. Before you care about the multiplayer you care whether or not the game is worth playing.

That screenshot that you posted represents a major thematic and stylistic departure from the Early Access build. I hope they aren't reworking the game this late in development, especially as I'm sick of urban fantasy.

I'm not really that hyped up. I expect it to be D:OS1 but more of it and that's not a good thing. Granted, I didn't play Early Access, even though it's sitting there in my GOG catalogue I have other games to play before turning to unfinished ones, so I wouldn't know if they've changed it for the better. I also don't think a 7-writer team can pop out a cohesive narrative without strict guidance of a Lead Writer who edits everything everyone writes, so it's probably going to be a mess of styles and ideas that go nowhere.

Like what, exactly?

You might notice that I put an "also" in there, which means the narrative cohesion is separate from the other thing. D:OS1 has many, many other problems, it feels like someone with dissociative identity disorder designed it. I was just commenting that I don't think the 7-writer team is a good idea and it won't solve even the most widely criticized aspect.

Warhammer 2 would also be released in September, and XCOM2 DLC would be at end of August. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and FO4 gold edition would be also released in September.

:flamesaw:

No need to look at spoilers, and considering story of second game I don't think it would even have a continuity. You can jump completely unspoiled into pirate version with Jap voices. Or watch it on Internet if you are not into computer piracy. Of course rich fans would probably grab it anyway because they are collecting stuff like that.

That's exactly my point. DOS2 all they way, baby!

I'll get Death of the Outsider some day. Dishonored 2 is still sitting in my backlog. The same goes for Danganronpa 1 and 2. That means, I am in no hurry to get the third game.

How can you resist playing as Skaven? Remember Empire is sending people who are talking about giant rats with swords for psychiatric examination for trying to disrupt the state. You can utterly corrupt Southlands. And do nasty stuff in that western continent.

Hear hear.

Also, 96MB update just hit.

EDIT: Nothing significant, apparently "It's just DirectX in \Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\_CommonRedist\."

Also, for whatever reason I'm feeling nervous about the undead race thingy. Almost certain it's not coming. :negative:
